Longwearing, crease resistant color in sheer wearable formulas. All NARS eyeshadows can be applied sheer or layered for a more dramatic effect. These richly pigmented powders blend effortlessly and can also be used wet for precisely lining the eyes.

This is NOT the taupe/gold color one would think based on the photo. It is DARK brown. It will be fine to use as an eyeliner but as an all-over neutral color--or highlight for the brow bone--no. No way. I didn't really need more eyeliner but don't want to go through the hassle of returns and waiting for the exchanged item. Sigh.

This is a really bold dark brown. It is highly pigmented and should be used with caution!! It looks fantastic as an eyeliner for a natural daytime look, or it can be smudged across the lid for a brown smokey eye for a bit more drama. Some NARS looks use this as a brow shader, but I find that it is way too dark for my brows, and typically use it (sparingly) in the creases of my eyes with a really neutral base color like NARS Edie. It can be a bit difficult to blend, but the good thing about that is that it creates a good defining line where you need one. I also like that there is no glitter or shimmer in it, so even though it is dark, it is not inappropriate for daytime wear.
